"Does a human need a physical body to be human?
Can a human without a body still be human?
What it really means to be a human then?"
We will evolve into beings that differ from humans as humans differ from mice.
But, with luck, our future selves will edit out the worst of human nature: our stupidity, cruelty, envy, and brutality.
And expand upon the best of human nature: our intelligence, curiosity, kindness, and love of beauty.
